NEWPORT NEWS – No arrests have been made in connection with a suspected meth lab found Friday in a Christopher Newport University dormitory, according to a university official.

"The investigation remains ongoing and no arrest has been made," said CNU spokeswoman Lori Jacobs, in an email on Saturday. "There is no new update at this time."

On Saturday, CNU police employees referred all questions to Jacobs.

Police evacuated the Wilson residence hall at 6:48 p.m. Friday after a substance was found in one of the dorm rooms.

Police took items recovered from the dorm to a lab in Norfolk for additional analysis, Jacobs said. On Friday, CNU Police Chief Jeffrey Brown declined to say how authorities were notified or how much authorities recovered.

Wilson is a dorm for upperclassman in CNU Village, located across Warwick Boulevard from the university's main campus.
